¹⁄48

A week or so ago, Kenaz Raynor posted a review of one of the most interesting of the Post-War British Aircraft - The Westland Wyvern. Now Cutting Edge Modelworks have announced a sheet of decals to complement the Classic Airframes kit in 1/48th scale...

CED48275 - Westland Wyverns: Suez Stripes & 813 NAS & 831 NAS Markings Price $9.99

The sheet consists of markings for a total of three aircraft PLUS 'Sharkmouths' for the drop tanks carried by 813 NAS and a wide variety of additional stencil markings...

The Markings included in this sheet are as follows:

The black/yellow Suez War invasion stripes worn by 830 NAS during the Suez Crisis of 1956.

813 NAS ("Dennis the Menace")

831 NAS ("The Flook")

Notes: 'Dennis The Menace' is a character from a British children's comic...

'The Flook' was a comic strip character who appeared in a British Daily newspaper up until the 1970s...

This tradition of comic strip characters still exists today. In the last Gulf War, quite a number of popular (although less polite) characters found their way onto the nose of R.A.F. aircraft..

Neither Roundels nor Fin Flashes are included in this sheet...
